SA38 TWTOOL01 & Execute

SA38 RADCUCNT & Execute (This report creates the

nametabs required for conversion)

Specify a path for the log file as it is very important

to read the log afterwards.

Other error could be analysed with the note

After successful completion
SA38 UMG_SHOW_UCTABS

Make sure tables DDXTT, DDXTF,

DDXTT_CONV_UC, DDXTF_CONV_UC are
empty before you proceed
SE11 Check DDXTT, DDXTF tables. There should not
be any errors displayed.

Action

Execute ( This will transfer the languages into the productive client

Execute (This execution may take sometime) This checks for the programs
which are needed to be marked for unicode conversion

Apply Note 712619 - Not required if Not an MDMP system

Execute in Background(This report maintains the corrupt data in many

tables before conversion)

Applied after Basis Pack 48 for release 6.20

Execute (This will clear the corrupt in the table TTDTG)
Delete all which start with QCM (These are temporary tables created during
a upgrade, they don't appear in the dictionary, if not deleted they make their
appearance in the consistency check)
Execute the report in Background (This report sets the Text Lang field for
the tables for conversion)
Read Note 89384

Execute

Copy & Execute (This checks the objects which are inconsistent. Most
likely this report will return some tables which are inconsistent.)

Extras --> Runtime Object --> Check ( An error is displayed stating why the
object is inconsistent) if the object is not in the dictionary activate the
object. If the objects are not found in the DB but they exist in Dictionary,
they can be ignored.
 Change all entries which are 1100 to 1160
